.: Our House That Tony And I Built :.

Photobucket

Its hard to believe that nine years ago Tony and I built this house together, where I got that energy from I will never know because I sure don't have it now. It was a first for both of us of course I could use a hammer and nails, drill, sander, planer and saw and I had helped to build a Carport and a Decking mainly cutting, nailing and drilling though plenty of times being a gofa going for this and that, this time was different and to make matters worse everything was in Metric.. I helped with everything except the roof as I refused to get up there or anything higher than my right hand would reach on the tallest ladder I painted almost the entire exterior Tony had to hire trestles so he could paint the peak of the house on both sides when he finished cladding the exterior walls.

It took us six months to complete, the only things that were left to be done after we moved in were those fussy things like interior and wardrobe doors all the skirting boards and window architraves. I will never forget the drilling and nailing I did no nail guns for us. I don't know how many bits I broke how many times I hit my hand and fingers with the hammer, and that floor beautiful tongue and groove Tasmanian Oak, twenty three days to do that while I sorted, measured, cut and carried up the ramp to the house lengths up to 6mt/20ft then I had to walk across the joists to deliver them as there were no floors my sore calves but that was the easy part Tony did all the hard Yakka. When Tony was putting the wall studs in I was doing the two decking floors I thought it would be easy well it wasn't some of the lengths of timber were shaped like bananas I have never seen timber so bowed in my life as that treated pine and I had to jam the chisel into the joists and push it up near the closest timber, drill the holes hammer the nails in with only two hands believe me sometimes I needed three, but being the female of the species we have a knack of working things out like that when hubby's are busy. Where there is a will there is a way.. I was so glad when it was finished.

I laugh about it all now but it was not funny at the time.
